I play on my iPad, but for Xmas my wife gave me one of the new "budget" Fire models from Amazon. Frankly, as much as I love my iPad, I'd rather tote around my Fire, as it's reasonably smaller. I don't see MPQ available in Amazon's appstore. Does anyone know if it's going to become available?

Thanks.

    Not sure this qualifies as a technical issue exactly, but as far as I know you need to be able to download apps from the Google Play store to be able to download the app, I have not heard any information suggesting that will change for Android devices.

    The game isn't available from the Amazon App Store, and Google Play isn't available, so officially you can't download it to your Fire. You have two possible options, both of which can be somewhat risky and have downsides: flash a stock Android ROM to your Kindle, turning it into a generic Android device (and lose the device's native Kindle Books and Amazon Video integration), or find an unmodified APK and sideload it (but you won't get in-app purchases due to lack of Google Play).

    Thanks for the feedback, both here and what I received via PM. I'm not keen on fiddling with the OS on my Fire, so I'll just stick with playing on the iPad for now. Cheers!
